PREFACE. 


Comrades  of  the  Fourth  Infantry  and  First  Artillery : 

In  presenting  to  you  this  Roster,  the  first  that  has  ever  been 
gotten  up  of  this  Regiment,  I  feel  proud  that  I  have  met  with 
such  success  in  procuring  so  many  names  and  Post  Office  ad- 
dresses, and  other  information  which  I  think  will  be  of  interest  to 
every  member  of  the  old  ist  Ct.  V.  H.  Artillery. 

Having  been  one  of  its  original  members  from  April,  1861, 
when  we  enlisted  for  three  months  in  response  to  a  call  of  April 
15,  1 86 1,  by  the  President  of  the  United  States,  for  75,000  men, 
and  going  with  you  from  then  until  the  time  of  discharge,  October 
I  St,  1865,  and  being  disabled  by  exposure  and  hardships  which 
we  were  all  subject  to  during  those  days,  and  not  able  to  work  for 
the  past  three  years,  I  have  spent  the  greater  part  of  my  time, 
when  able,  trying  to  do  something  for  this  regiment.  I  worked 
faithfully  to  bring  about  a  reunion  on  the  nth  of  June  last,  and  it 
was  a  success ;  and  since  that  time  I  have  labored  diligently  for 
the  Roster,  having  procured  all  the  names  of  this  regiment  known 
in  the  pension  department,  and  added  over  six  hundred  to  those 
already  there.  It  has  necessitated  the  writing  of  many  letters 
and  the  expenditure  of  much  time,  as  well  as  money  and  anxiety, 
but  as  I  have  already  said  I  feel  proud  of  it,  and  hope  it  may 
meet  the  approval  of  all  the  members  of  the  regiment,  and  that 
the  Roster  will  continue  as  long  as  there  are  any  members  left  of 
this  regiment. 

I  remain  one  of  the  old  Fourth  Infantry  as  well  as  the  First 
Artillery. 

Yours,  in  F.  C.  and  L., 

E.  B.  BENNETT,

[ii^torical  ^^^etch  of  the  I^ejinjent. 


In  order  to  give  a  detailed  account  of  the  4th  Infantry  Regi- 
ment of  Connecticut,  it  will  be  necessary  to  commence  at  the 
foundation.  It  appears  by  official  reports  that  on  the  9th  of 
November  i860,  an  attempt  was  made  to  seize  the  arms  at  Fort 
Moultrie,  and  from  that  time  forth,  all  sorts  of  war  preparations 
were  carried  on  by  the  C.  S.  Army,  until  on  April  12,  1861,  at 
four  o'clock  A.  M.,  Fort  Moultrie  opened  fire  on  Fort  Sumter,  which 
continued  until  noon  of  the  13th.  Then  a  flag  of  truce  was  sent 
to  Major  Anderson  in  command  of  Fort  Sumter,  requesting  him 
to  evacuate  the  Fort  with  his  men,  numbering  in  all  told.  The 
terms  were  that  the  garrison  should  take  all  its  individual  and 
company  property  and  should  march  out  with  their  side  arms  in 
their  own  way  and  at  their  own  time,  but  that  they  should  salute 
their  flag  and  take  it  with  them. 

While  saluting  the  flag,  Daniel  Hough,  private.  Battalion  E, 
I  St  U.  S.  Artillery,  was  killed  by  the  premature  explosion  of  a 
cannon.  He  was  the  first  soldier  killed  in  the  war,  and  was 
buried  on  the  15  th  of  April,  by  order  of  General  Beauregard  with 
all  the  honors  of  war.  Major  Anderson  and  his  men  sailed  on 
the  14th  for  New  York. 

April  15,  1 86 1.  This,  comrades  is  a  memorial  day  for  the 
4th  Ct.  Infantry.  President  Lincoln  issued  a  proclamation  com- 
manding all  persons  in  arms  against  the  Government  to  disperse 
within  twenty  days,  and  also  called  for  75,000  three  months' 
troops,  and  we  of  the  4th  responded  to  this  call.  The  regiment 
had  completed  its  number  when,  on  the  3d  day  of  May,  1861, 
the  President  did  not  want  any  more  three  months'  men  and  called 
for  300,000  three  year  volunteers.  Upon  this  order  we  were  dis- 
banded, but  this  much  we  ventured,  to  brave  the  storm  come

HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


what  would,  so  what  there  was,  or  nearly  all,  put  their  names 
down  in  the  books  for  three  years  in  place  of  three  months,  and 
to-day,  reader,  they  still  remain  and  are  recorded  for  generations 
after  us  to  guard  and  protect,  and  we  have  every  reason  to  feel 
proud  of  the  record  we  gained  and  shall  leave  behind  us  for  ages. 
And  we  are  also  proud  to  think  that  we  were  the  first  regiment 
to  offer  ourselves  to  his  excellency,  Wm.  A,  Buckingham,  as  ready 
and  willing  to  be  turned  over  into  the  hands  of  the  United  States 
for  any  service  she  might  require  of  us. 

We  were  the  first  three  years'  regiment  to  offer  our  services 
to  protect  the  old  flag,  which  floats  so  triumphantly  over  us  to- 
day, respected  by  all  nations  of  the  earth. 

On  the  23d  of  May,  1861,  we  were  mustered  into  the 
United  States  service  for  three  years,  or  during  the  war,  and  as 
the  three  months'  troops  had  all  departed  for  the  field,  we  were 
patiently  awaiting  our  turn.  We  were  sent  into  camp  on  the 
north  meadows  to  await  orders  and  drill  preparatory  to  meeting 
the  enemy,  and  thus  the  time  passed  until  the  morning  of  June 
loth,  at  which  time  we  made  all  preparations  for  our  departure. 
Our  camp  was  tentless  by  nine  o'clock,  and  camp  Mansfield  was 
no  more  for  us.  It  was  nearly  noon  before  we  were  ready,  or  at 
least  before  others  were  ready  for  us,  but  at  last  we  were  got  into 
position  ready  to  be  escorted  to  the  boats.  The  escort  consisted 
of  the  first  company  Governor's  Horse  Guards,  the  Putnam 
Phalanx,  and  the  City  Guards,  Company  B. 

Comrades,  it  is  not  really  necessary  for  me  to  tell  you  that 
this  loth  of  June  was  one  of  those  hot,  hotter,  hottest  days'  seem- 
ingly, that  we  had  ever  been  able  to  meet  with  in  our  own  little 
State ;  but  we  were  made  up  of  the  best  material,  the  men  of  this 
regiment  coming  from  all  parts  of  the  State ;  I  do  not  beheve  but 
every  town  in  the  State  was  represented.  We  finally  reached  the 
State  House  square,  nearly  melted,  where  we  waited,  for  what 
seemed  hours,  in  the  boiling  sun  while  speeches  were  being  made, 
which  not  one-tenth  of  us  could  hear. 

The  regimental  standard  was  presented  to  Colonel  Wood- 
house  by  Lieutenant  Governor  Douglas,  and  the  National  Flag  by 


OF  THE  REGIMENT.

H.  L.  ]\Iiller,  Esq.,  in  behalf  of  the  ladies  of  the  Putnam  Phalanx. 
When  this  was  over  we  took  up  our  line  of  march,  and  succeeded 
in  getting  safely  embarked,  about  four  o'clock  P.  M.,  on  board  the 
steamboats  ''CTranite  State"  and  the  "City  of  Hartford".  The 
cit}'  was  crowded  with  people  who  had  assembled  to  witness  our 
departure,  and  the  buildings  along  our  line  of  march,  and  the 
steamboats  were  all  highly  decorated  with  flags  and  bunting.  A 
dense  crowd  of  people  had  gathered  at  the  docks  and  on  boats, 
as  well  as  along  the  banks  of  the  river  to  see  us  depart.  Then 
there  was  music  and  firing  of  cannons  and  tremendous  cheering 
and  waving  of  hats  and  handkerchiefs  on  all  sides  as  we  steamed 
down  the  river.  Other  cannons  were  fired  and  new  crowds 
greeted  us  all  along  the  way,  until  we  were  too  tired  to  recognize 
them  any  longer  and  darkness  closed  them  from  view. 

The  morning  of  the  nth  found  us  in  Jersey  City,  where  or- 
ders were  received,  assigning  us  to  General  Patterson's  command, 
and  directing  us  to  report  to  him  immediately.  But  it  was 
impossible  to  get  transportation,  and  so  we  spent  the  day  in  and 
around  the  depot  at  Jersey  City,  and  a  tiresome  day  it  was  too, 
most  of  us  being  strangers  in  the  place,  or  rather  the  city  being 
strange  to  most  of  us ;  and  beside,  we  were  under  military  disci- 
pline. But  at  last,  about  half  past  five  o'clock,  P.  M.,  a  train  of 
twenty- eight  cars  was  backed  in,  it  was  reported  that  they  were 
ready  to  transport  us.  We  were  soon  aboard  and  set  out  for 
Philadelphia,  reaching  that  city  in  the  small  hours  of  the  morning 
Wednesday,  and  proceeding  across  the  city,  took  the  cars  for 
Harrisburg.  There  were  no  passenger  coaches  to  be  had,  and  at 
daylight  Wednesday  morning  we  found  ourselves  packed  away  in 
box  cars,  headed  for  Harrisburg,  the  capital  city  of  Pennsylvania. 

We  reached  our  destination,  if  my  memory  serves  me  cor- 
rectly, about  noon,  or  a  little  after,  and  after  switching  around 
over  the  trestle  works  for  a  while,  were  once  more  under  way, 
this  time  headed  for  Chambersburg,  which  we  reached  in  the 
night.  We  had  orders  to  remain  at  this  place  for  a  short  time, 
and  that  night  we  slept  in  a  clover  field  under  the  starlight  of 
Heaven, — Camp  McClure.

HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


It  was  here,  comrades,  we  found  the  first  hard  bread  the 
writer  had  ever  seen,  and  hke  many  of  the  boys  I  filled  my  haver- 
sack fall,  for  I  was  nearly  starved ;  but  feeling  the  need  of  a  wash 
we  searched  about  until  we  found  some  water,  a  generous  use  of 
which  refreshed  us  very  much  after  our  long  and  dusty  ride 
through  the  coal  regions.  But  the  hard  bread  must  not  be  for- 
gotten ;  before  the  day  was  spent  we  had  learned  that  the  crackers 
were  better  adapted  for  wagon  wheels  than  for  eating  purposes, 
and  we  tried  to  educate  ourselves  as  to  their  make-up.  Some  of 
the  boys  concluded  that  they  had  been  made  a  long  time,  from 
the  fact  of  their  being  marked  "B.  C."  The  ist  Wisconsin  regi- 
ment were  also  encamped  here,  and  among  them  we  found  many 
warm  friends,  who,  like  ourselves,  were  ready  for  any  amusement ; 
so  we  commenced  making  young  wagons,  using  the  crackers  for 
wheels,  as  we  had  a  goodly  supply.  We  had  them  for  breakfast, 
and  for  dinner,  and  for  change  of  diet,  had  them  for  supper ;  in 
fact  crackers  were  used  for  all  purposes,  and  when  we  had  our 
wagons  completed,  we  tried  to  trade  them  off  among  the  Wis- 
consin boys  for  something  different  to  eat. 

June  17th,  at  twelve  o'clock  M.,  we  took  the  cars  for  Hagers- 
town,  arriving  at  Camp  Negley  about  four  o'clock  P.  M.,  going 
into  camp  again  with  our  friends  of  the  ist  Wisconsin,  and  look- 
ing forward  to  a  good  time  on  the  morrow.  But,  alas  !  at  mid- 
night the  long  roll  was  beaten,  and  we  were  hurried  ofi"  for  Wil- 
liamsport  about  six  miles  distant.  When  we  reached  that  place 
the  Johnnies  had  disappeared,  and  we  had  to  content  ourselves 
during  that  day  to  lie  about  on  the  ground  in  the  scorching  sun 
trying  to  eat  our  hard  crackers,  which  we  had  brought  along.  In 
the  evening  we  returned  to  camp  again,  at  Hagerstown,  and  thus 
ended  our  first  forced  march. 

On  the  4th  of  July,  five  companies  of  the  left  wing,  under 
command  of  Major  Birge,  were  sent  to  Williamsport ;  the  right 
wing  remaining  at  Camp  Negley  until  the  6th  when  it  moved  for- 
ward to  the  fair  grounds  just  below  the  arsenal  on  the  Williams- 
port  road,  where  they  remained  until  the  r6th  of  August.  Mean- 
while the  left  wing  in  Wilhamsport  were  having  a  good  time

drilling  and  doing  guard  duty  under  Captain  Kellogg,  who  was 
very  fond  of  having  the  long  roll  beat,  to  see  how  quickly  he 
could  get  us  into  line.  Here  we  made  the  acquaintance  of  the 
"Pie  Girls",  who  used  to  come  into  camp  every  day  selling  pies 
and  cakes  and  getting  acquainted  with  the  boys,  cheering  them 
up  and  making  it  seem  quite  home-like. 

August  9th  the  left  wing  had  orders  to  march  to  Frederick 
City,  and  when  on  the  17th  the  right  wing  joined  us  here,  we 
were  comfortably  encamped  on  the  grounds  belonging  to  the  old 
Barracks.  But  as  these  grounds  were  intended  to  be  used  as  a 
hospital,  we  necessarily  had  to  move  into  a  new  camping  ground, 
which  we  did  on  the  21st  of  August,  going  into  a  beautiful  grove 
called  White  Oak  Springs,  or  Camp  Kennedy,  which  was  a 
splendid  place  as  most  of  the  4th  will  remember.  It  was  while 
in  this  camp  that  the  boys  began  to  think  that  there  was  no  use 
in  having  a  doctor  along  if  they  couldn't  be  sick. 

We  remained  at  Camp  Kennedy  for  two  weeks.  About  this 
time  we  began  to  feel  the  need  of  new  clothing,  as  our  old  ones 
were  badly  worn.  There  were  scarcely  two  men  in  the  regiment 
who  wore  clothes  alike,  and  we  were  all  running  short  of  money,  so 
that  the  prospect  looked  a  little  discouraging.  It  was  reported  at 
one  time  that  we  were  to  be  slicked  up  and  sent  to  Washington 
to  be  the  body  guard  of  General  Scott ;  and  at  another,  that  the 
regiment  was  to  be  mustered  out  and  sent  home ;  but  neither  re- 
port contained  any  truth  as  was  soon  proved. 

On  September  6th,  Colonel  Woodhouse  returned  from  Wash- 
ington with  orders  to  report  to  General  Banks,  so  at  nine  o'clock 
on  the  morning  of  the  7th,  the  regiment  got  under  way,  and 
taking  the  road  which  leads  around  under  Sugar  Loaf  Mountain 
we  reached  its  base,  where  we  spent  the  night,  and  the  next 
morning  before  five  o'clock  we  were  climbing  the  mountain, 
and  then  moved  on  towards  Barnsville  until  we  came  near 
Banks'  headquarters.  Here  we  camped  in  a  small  grove  and 
on  the  m.orning  of  the  9th,  just  before  we  reported  to  General 
Banks,  Colonel  Woodhouse  turned  the  command  over  to  Lieu- 
tenant Colonel  White,  and  we  then  went  into  Camp  Lyons,

HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


where  we  found  ourselves  with  25,000  others  of  Banks'  division. 
Here  we  met  our  brother  regiment,  the  old  5  th,  then  under 
Colonel  Ferry,  with  maay  of  whom  we  had  become  very  intimate 
while  organizing  in  Hartford ;  for  they  as  well  as  the  4th  had  re- 
sponded to  the  first  call.  All  went  merrily  for  about  two  weeks 
or  a  little  over,  when  an  event  occurred  which  was  of  great  import- 
ance to  us  all. 

It  took  place  on  the  26th  of  September,  and  the  event  was 
the  arrival  of  Colonel  Tyler.  Play  was  played  out  for  us,  and  we 
had  to  get  down  to  business  pretty  lively.  This  marks  the  begin- 
ning of  a  new  era  in  the  history  of  our  army  life.  Comrades,  do 
you  remember  him  ?  He  found  the  regiment  an  uneducated  and 
undisciplined  lot  of  men,  and  it  was  a  task  to  make  soldiers  out 
of  us,  but  how  well  he  succeeded  the  appearance  of  the  regiment 
soon  testified.  He  brought  our  standard  up  to  the  highest,  and 
that  could  not  be  beat.  He  at  once  commenced  a  system  of  in- 
spection which  brought  every  man  in  the  regiment  under  his 
personal  observation,  and  we  thought  he  was  a  devil  on  wheels, 
for  he  had  his  fingers  into  everything.  He  was  always  at  guard 
mounting,  and  would  visit  the  guards  in  person,  inspect  their 
guns,  and  ask  what  we  thought  very  fooHsh  questions.  I  shall 
never  forget  his  first  inspection  when  he  told  us  our  guns  were 
filthy,  and  that,  too,  after  we  had  taken  great  pains  to  clean  them 
up  for  this  special  occasion. 

Thus  he  continued  his  discipline  until  all  the  arms  and  ac- 
coutrements were  in  splendid  condition,  and  looked  even  better 
than  when  they  left  the  manufacturer's  hands,  and  he  kept  up  this 
order  of  neatness  and  behavior  until  our  regiment  attained  a 
degree  of  excellence  which  could  not  be  surpassed. 

The  regiment  was  transferred  to  General  McClellan,  Wednes- 
day, October  2d.  At  eleven  o'clock,  tents  were  struck  and  the 
regiment  took  up  its  line  of  march  for  Washington.  It  rained  all 
that  day,  which  of  course  made  the  travelling  very  bad,  the  roads 
being  muddy,  sticky  and  slippery.  We  marched  about  eight 
miles,  going  into  camp  near  Rockville.  At  seven  o'clock  the 
next  morning  we  were  under  way  again,  and  marching  about  nine 


OF  THE  REGIMENT.  I3 

miles  further,  camped  at  Tennellytown  and  waited  there  until  we 
should  receive  new  uniforms  and  accoutrements.  These  were 
given  us  on  Sunday  the  6th,  and  on  the  following  morning  the 
men  were  directed  to  throw  away  all  remnants  of  their  previous 
dress,  take  a  bath  in  the  brook,  and  get  into  their  new  clothes 
preparatory  to  marching  into  Washington. 

This  was  a  change  in  good  earnest,  for  you  will  all,  doubtless, 
remember  what  a  strong  hold  the  enemy  had  upon  us  at  that 
time.    We  were  literally  surrounded  by  the  gray  backs,  and  it 


was  decided  as  the  best  means  of  thoroughly  vanquishing  the 
enemy  to  burn  them.  So  placing  them  in  piles  they  were  burned, 
the  enemy  howling  piteously  meanwhile ;  but  there  was  no  show 
for  them  at  our  hands ;  we  had  raised  the  black  flag  against  gray 
backs  of  every  description,  and  Colonel  Tyler  was  commanding. 

On  the  yth  we  started  once  more.  Our  march  to  Washing- 
ton, that  is  the  remainder  of  it,  was  a  very  pleasant  one.  Camp 
after  camp  were  passed  along  the  route  up  through  Georgetown ; 
and  finally  entering  Washington  we  passed  up  New  York  Avenue 
to  the  open  ground  northeast  of  the  capitol,  where  we  went  into 
camp  ;  probably  50,000  or  more  having  camped  at  the  same  place 
previous  to  our  arrival. 

Our  first  night  here  was  one  long  to  be  remembered.  The 
flood  gates  of  Heaven  seemed  to  open.  Not  only  did  the  rain 
descend  in  torrents,  but  large  hail  stones  as  well,  making,  as  the 
boys  used  to  say,  "Merry  H — 1"  for  a  while.  The  wind  blew  a 
regular  gale  and  it  required  all  hands  to  keep  the  tents  from  blow- 
ing away.  Morning  came  at  last,  and  though  the  wind  still  con- 
tinued to  blow,  the  sun  soon  brightened  things  up,  and  the  few 
days  we  stayed  at  Washington  passed  very  pleasantly. 

October  9th  we  break  camp  once  more,  and  cross  the  long 
bridge  into  Virginia,  leaving  Washington  behind  us  for  a  time.

HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


For  my  own  part,  I  felt  about  like  one  of  those  recruits,  who 
remarked  that  he  should  be  glad  when  he  got  back  into  America 
again.  Soon  after  crossing  the  long  bridge  which  we  did  in 
broken  step,  we  passed  Fort  Albany,  and  taking  the  road  to  Alex- 
andria, halted  just  north  of  Fort  Richardson  and  made  camp 
partly  on  a  side  hill  and  partly  in  the  valley,  which  was  known  as 
Camp  Ingalls.  The  next  morning  found  us  drilling  with  pick  and 
shovel,  grubbing  up  the  stumps  at  Fort  Richardson  where  the 
engineers  were  at  work ;  while  a  regiment  of  Michiganers,  to- 
gether with  companies  from  several  other  camps  in  the  locality, 
were  employed  in  clearing  the  grounds  here  and  at  Fort  Scott. 
But  we  soon  relieved  the  other  companies  and  had  things  all  to 
ourselves.  The  work  of  clearing  the  grounds  around  Fort  Rich- 
ardson continued  until  we  had  been  over  fully  ten  acres  of  what 
had  been  Virginia  forest,  but  when  our  work  was  completed  the 
ground  was  as  smooth  as  a  hall  floor,  and  then  the  company 
streets  were  laid  out  and  arranged  very  much  after  the  manner  of 
a  well  laid  out  flower  garden.  While  at  Camp  Ingalls  we  learned 
to  make  the  camp  fire,  and  to  lay  beside  it  through  the  night 
roasting  one  side  and  freezing  the  other,  for  the  weather  was  now 
beginning  to  grow  quite  cool. 

Tuesday  morning  October  27th,  orders  were  issued  to  have 
everything  packed  at  fatigue  call  and  ready  to  march ;  so  we 
moved  farther  up  on  to  the  hill,  and  here  we  made  one  of  the 
finest  camps  for  beauty  and  comfort  that  was  probably  ever  seen 
during  the  war.  The  situation  could  not  have  been  surpassed, 
the  ground  sloping  to  the  east  and  giving  a  fine  view  of  the  Po- 
tomac river  and  Alexandria ;  while  from  the  summit  of  the  hill  we 
had  a  splendid  view  of  Washington,  Georgetown  and  the  sur- 
rounding country.  To  the  west  of  us  were  Blenker's  German 
Brigade,  and  in  fact  on  every  cleared  spot  as  far  as  the  eye  could 
reach,  were  forts  and  camp-fields. 

We  enjoyed  our  camp  fire  and  when  not  engaged  with  our 
numerous  duties,  lounged  about  it  telling  stories  and  singing  songs 
of  the  loved  ones  at  home  ;  nevertheless  we  were  kept  under  strict 
discipline  and  soon  made  the  acquaintance  of  the  sling  carts,  the

Statuary  and  spread  eagle,  the  pick  and  shovel,  the  stump  pulling 
and  the  guard  house,  and  our  company  officers  felt  the  stern  dis- 
cipline as  well  as  the  men.  The  writer  was  on  guard  one  night, 
and  being  a  non-commissioned  officer  was  directed  by  order  of 
Colonel  Tyler  to  go  into  company — and  take  certain  men  to  the 
guard  house  and  have  them  ride  the  wooden  horse  every  alternate 
two  hours  through  the  ni^ht.  This  was  accordingly  done,  and  in 
the  morning  Colonel  Tyler  appeared  at  the  guard  house  and 
walking  up  to  the  first  of  the  three,  inquired,  "What  are  you  on 
here  for,  sir?"  "Don't  know,"  was  the  reply.  "All  right;"  the 
Colonel  replied,  and  stepping  along  to  the  next  man  repeated  his 
question,  and  received  the  same  reply  as  from  the  first.  Arriving 
at  the  third  man  he  repeated  "What  are  you  here  for,  sir?" 
"Getting  drunk,"  was  the  quick  reply.  "Humph  !  will  you  get 
drunk  again  if  I  let  you  off,"  asked  the  Colonel.  ''Yes  I  will,  by 
G — d,  before  night,  if  I  get  a  chance."  "Humph  !  D — n  good 
man,"  said  the  Colonel.  "Sergeant,  send  this  man  to  his  com- 
pany ;  keep  these  others  here  till  they  can  tell  the  truth.  I'll 
teach  them  not  to  lie  to  me  !" 

The  Colonel  was  very  attentive  to  the  sick,  and  insisted  upon 
their  being  well  taken  care  of;  but  woe  to  the  man  who  pre- 
tended to  be  sick. 

October  30th  we  drew  our  new  uniforms  and  then  com- 
menced our  reviews.  On  the  31st  we  received  our  State  bounty, 
through  the  hands  of  Colonel  Irish.  On  the  12th  of  November 
Major  Birge  was  appointed  Colonel  of  the  13th  Connecticut 
Volunteers.  All  this  time  we  were  drilling  and  reviewing,  and 
getting  into  excellent  training  order,  and  toward  the  last  of  De- 
cember we  had  a  dress  parade  before  Governor  Buckingham. 

January  2,  1862,  by  special  orders  from  the  War  Depart- 
ment, the  regiment  changed  its  name  and  became  the  "  First 
Connecticut  Volunteer  Heavy  Artillery,"  consisting  of  twelve 
companies,  of  150  men  each.  On  the  nth  our  camp  was  photo- 
graphed by  Brady,  of  Washington.  March  7th  we  were  reviewed 
by  Mrs.  Gen'l  McClellan  and  party;  and  on  the  15th  we  were 
recruited  up,  and  two  more  companies  added  to  the  regiment

(L  and  M).  This  made  work  for  the  older  men,  as  they  had  to 
do  most  of  the  drilUng  of  the  new  ones.  On  the  i  yth  we  were 
reviewed  by  His  Excellency,  Governor  Buckingham. 

April  3d,  at  3  o'clock  a.  m.,  reveille  was  beaten,  and  we  ate 
breakfast  by  starlight.  At  six  o'clock  the  tents  were  struck  and 
all  unnecessary  baggage  turned  over  to  the  Quartermaster,  or  left 
with  the  14th  Massachusetts,  who  relieved  us,  and  we  were  on 
the  march  for  Alexandria.  We  embarked  on  the  steamers  Knick- 
erbocker and  Mystic,  which  were  lying  at  anchor  in  the  stream, 
and  proceeded  down  the  river,  greatly  enjoying  the  sights  along 
the  shore  as  we  passed  Mount  Vernon,  Fort  Washington,  and  the 
deserted  rebel  batteries. 

On  the  following  morning  we  found  ourselves  nearly  abreast 
of  Fortress  Monroe,  among  a  forest  of  shipping  craft,  with  the 
Monitor,  which  had  been  in  that  section  only  a  short  time,  lying 
at  a  little  distance  from  us,  and  of  course  we  all  wanted  to  get  a 
glimpse  of  her,  for  she  was  quite  a  curiosity.  It  was  only  five 
days  before  this  that  the  Confederate  ironclad  Merrimac,  attacked 
the  Union  fleet  at  Hampton  Roads,  destroying  the  Cumberland 
and  Congress,  and  damaging  several  other  vessels,  finally  attack- 
ing this  old  cheese-box,  the  Monitor.  After  three  hours  hard  fight- 
ing, the  Merrimac  was  towed  back  to  Sewell's  Point,  disabled 
and  beaten,  and  did  not  again  renew  the  conflict,  for  the  Moni- 
tor had  proven  itself  an  invincible  foe,  and  one  to  be  much 
dreaded. 

In  due  time  we  disembarked  and  spent  the  greater  part  of 
that  day  around  the  shore,  watching  the  unloading  of  cavalry 
horses  from  the  vessels  and  looking  at  the  numerous  guns  stand- 
ing on  the  beach.  Late  in  the  afternoon  we  marched  out  toward 
Hampton  and  went  into  camp,  and  in  the  meantime  our  guns 
were  being  loaded  on  to  the  barges. 

On  the  6th,  while  on  inspection,  orders  came  to  make 
another  move ;  this  time  for  Yorktown.  Monday  morning,  the 
7th,  about  five  o'clock,  we  boarded  the  steamer  John  A.  Warner, 
and  proceeded  up  the  Chesapeake,  having  barges  in  tow  which 
contained  our  baggage.    We  remained  on  the  steamer  several

days,  but  on  the  morning  of  the  nth  we  steamed  up  to  Chees- 
man's  Landing  and  commenced  the  work  of  the  siege  of  York- 
town,  and  by  the  end  of  the  month  the  batteries  were  nearly 
completed.  It  was  called  the  heaviest  siege  ever  laid  in  the 
world,  our  heaviest  guns  being  13-inch  sea  coast  mortars,  weigh- 
ing 17,120  pounds,  and  throwing  a  shell  weighing  nearly  400 
pounds,  and  16,570  pound  Parrot  guns,  throwing  200  pound 
shells. 

The  siege  train  of  our  regiment  contained  seventy-one  pieces, 
consisting  of  two  200,  and  five  100  pound  Parrot  guns ;  five  4^- 
inch  guns;  five  30  pound  Parrot's;  ten  13-inch  sea  service  mor- 
tars ;  six  10  inch  sea  service  mortars ;  ten  lo-inch  siege  mortars ; 
five  4% -inch  rifled  guns  ;  four  20  pound  Parrot's ;  four  10  pound 
Whitworth ;  three  8- inch  Howitzer's,  which  were  left  in  the  Park; 
and  two  8-inch,  five  lo-inch,  and  five  8-inch  siege  mortars.  For 
this  service,  there  was  transported,  for  use  in  these  guns,  17,047 
projectiles,  weighing  85  7,41 7  pounds.  This  does  not  include  pow- 
der and  small  stores  which  it  was  necessary  to  have  with  us.  To 
transport  this  amount  of  ammunition  it  required  726  wagon  loads. 

On  the  4th  of  May  the  Johnnies  skipped,  and  were  well  un- 
der way  toward  Richmond  before  their  departure  was  known. 

May  19th  we  were  called  into  actual  service  as  infantry; 
shelter  tents  were  issued  to  every  man,  and  we  marched  to  York- 
town,  and  boarding  the  transports  Robert  Morris  and  New 
Haven,  arrived  at  the  White  House  Landing  about  seven  o'clock 
P.  M.  of  the  20th.  The  next  day  we  were  supplied  with  new 
rifles  of  the  Springfield  pattern  of  1861,  and  we  felt  better. 

Thursday  morning  the  2  2d,  we  were  on  the  march  again, 
and  kept  it  up  all  day,  and  the  following  day  reached  Old  Church. 
The  24th,  Colonel  Tyler  was  directed  to  move  toward  Hanover 
Court  House  to  ascertain  the  strength  of  the  enemy.  On  Tues- 
day the  27th,  the  battle  of  Hanover  Court  House  took  place,  the 
I  St  Connecticut,  the  5  th  and  13th  New  York  regiments,  and 
Griffin's  Battery  staying  on  the  field  that  night.  We  were  occu- 
pied the  28th  with  burying  our  dead  and  reconnoitering,  and  the 
following  day  returned  to  Old  Church.    On  the  30th  we  marched 


i8 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 


from  Old  Church  to  Coal  Harbor,  and  on  Sunday,  June  ist, 
joined  the  headquarters  of  the  division  and  began  again  with  our 
picks  and  shovels  and  picket  duty.  June  2d  General  McClellan 
ordered  a  detachment  to  be  made  from  our  regiment  to  supply 
deficiencies  in  the  regular  batteries,  and  189  men  were  detailed 
for  this  purpose,  returning  to  the  regiment  after  the  close  of  the 
campaign. 

The  25th  of  June  we  were  driven  back  into  the  Chicka- 
hominy  and  around  to  Fair  Oaks,  and  pushed  on  to  Malvern  Hill 
July  I  St;  and  from  there  to  Harrison's  Landing  through  the  mud. 
So  ended  our  peninsular  campaign  and  we  returned  to  the  forts 
in  front  of  Washington,  with  the  exception  of  two  companies 
which  were  kept  at  the  front  with  the  army  of  the  Rappahannock 
and  participated  in  the  bombardment  of  Fredericksburg. 

One  day  after  we  had  been  at  the  forts  some  time,  an  old 
citizen  from  near  fort  Barnard  came  to  Colonel  Tyler,  stating  that 
the  Colonel's  men  were  stealing  his  peaches.  "They  are?"  says 
the  Colonel,  ''I  don't  allow  my  men  to  steal  sir,  if  you  catch  any 
of  them  at  it  bring  them  to  me  and  I  will  punish  them  sir."  The 
farmer  succeeded  one  day  in  catching  three  men  from  one  of  our 
companies,  and  brought  them  to  the  (Jolonel  saying  :  ''Here  are 
some  of  your  men  who  have  just  been  over  stealing  my  peaches." 
"My  men  are  they,"  asks  the  Colonel,  and  then  turning  to  the 
parties  caught,  demands,  "What  regiment  do  you  belong  to  sir?" 
"To  Co. —  of  the  ist  Massachusetts,  sir,"  was  the  reply.  "There, 
you  see,  sir,  these  are  not  my  men,"  says  the  Colonel,  and  turn- 
ing to  the  men  again,  "  You  sirs,  go  to  your  regiment  and  don't 
let  me  catch  you  around  my  camp  again."  "Now,  sir,"  to  the 
farmer,  "you  can  go  home,  I  told  you  my  men  would  not  steal, 
sir,  I  do  not  allow  it." 

September  5th,  the  confederates  crossed  the  Potomac  into 
Maryland  and  on  the  14th  the  battle  of  South  Mountain  took 
place.  On  the  15th,  Harpers  Ferry  was  surrendered  to  them 
with  all  its  garrison,  consisting  of  8,000  men,  and  on  the  i8th 
they  re-crossed  the  Potomac. 

On  November  19th,  Colonel  Tyler  was  promoted  to  a  Gen-

eral.  On  December  nth  some  of  our  boys  took  part  in  the 
bombardment  of  Fredericksburg,  under  Burnside,  but  the  Union 
forces  were  defeated  with  great  loss  of  Hfe. 

On  January  19th,  1863,  Capt.  Henry  L.  Abbot  of  the  regular 
army  became  our  Colonel ;  and  on  the  28th,  General  Burnside 
was  relieved  of  the  command  of  the  army  of  the  Potomac  and 
Fighting  Joe  Hooker  took  his  place,  with  his  long  legged  boots 
and  short  legged  breeches  were  a  source  of  much  amusement 
among  the  men. 

May  3d,  1863,  another  attempt  was  made  to  capture  Fred- 
ericksburg, but  it  did  not  succeed.  On  the  loth  of  this  month 
Stonewall  Jackson  died  at  Richmond,  Virginia.  On  the  28th,  at 
his  own  request,  General  Hooker  was  reheved  of  his  command  of 
the  army  of  the  Potomac  and  General  Meade  succeeded  him. 
The  following  day  an  immense  train,  consisting  of  600  wagons, 
3,000  horses  and  mules,  1,500  head  of  cattle,  and  6,000  negroes 
arrived  within  General  Banks'  lines. 

June  9th  Fort  Lyons  was  blown  up,  killing  20  men  and 
wounding  14.  A  Richmond  paper  dated  June  i8th  stated  that 
General  Lee  intended  spending  the  4th  of  July  in  Baltimore, 
Maryland. 

July  I  St,  Generals  Meade  and  Lee  met  in  a  terrible  battle 
near  Gettysburg,  and  after  three  days'  constant  fighting  Lee  was 
forced  to  retreat,  leaving  5,000  killed  and  wounded  and  losing 
20,000  prisoners.  On  the  4th  of  July,  U.  S.  Grant  made  Vicks- 
burg  a  lively  little  place ;  celebrating  the  glorious  4th  by  captur- 
ing 27,000  prisoners,  132  cannon  and  50,000  stand  of  arms. 

About  this  time  there  began  to  be  talk  about  the  need  of 
veterans  to  help  Grant,  and  every  inducement  was  offered  for  re- 
enlistments,  on  the  ground  that  the  veterans  were  worth  far  more 
than  new  men.  The  greater  part  of  the  old  ist  volunteered  to 
see  the  war  through  to  the  end,  but  there  was  not  much  fighting 
done  until  the  following  spring. 

About  the  7th  of  May,  1864,  it  began  to  be  nmiored  that  we 
were  to  serve  another  large  siege  train,  and  on  the  loth  the  com- 
panies from  all  the  surrounding  forts  began  to  gather  at  Fort  Rich-

ardson.  At  noon  we  set  off  on  the  march  for  Alexandria  where 
we  remained  over  night  at  Camp  White.  There  we  took  steamers 
and  landing  at  Bermuda  Hundred  were  immediately  put  into  the 
lines  which  Butler  had  just  left  in  his  advance  to  Richmond.  On 
the  i6th  the  army  of  the  James  fell  back,  and  when  they  found 
their  old  lines,  guns,  etc.,  in  possession  of  the  ist  Connecticut 
Volunteer  Heavy  Artillery  they  began  to  feel  safe  and  we  thought 
they  had  good  reason  to.  Let  us  for  a  moment  look  back  into 
those  old  lines ;  along  the  north  side  of  the  James  river ;  at 
Butler's  Dutch  Gap  Canal ;  at  the  Crows'  Nest  in  front  of  Fort 
Darling  near  Butler's  Lookout ;  and  then  in  front  of  Petersburg ; 
our  lines  extending  about  eighteen  miles.  Think  of  the  tons  of 
iron  and  the  number  of  cannons  and  mortars  used.  It  was  re- 
ported that  we  had  on  this  Campaign  over  125  cannons  and 
mortars,  and  it  would  astonish  even  ourselves  to  figure  up  the 
am_ount  of  ammunition  used.  It  would,  I  think,  run  into  the 
thousands  of  tons  ;  and  think  of  the  number  of  times  the  ist  Artil- 
lery sent  their  compliments  into  the  Johnnie's  lines,  and  at  their 
boats,  without  stopping  to  rap  or  even  ask  permission. 

From  the  day  the  army  of  the  James  fell  back  to  the  en- 
trenchments and  the  ist  Connecticut  Artillery  were  placed  in 
charge  of  their  siege  guns,  until  the  arrival  of  the  army  of  the 
Potomac,  about  a  month,  a  heavy  artillery  fire  prevailed  along 
the  Une,  the  regiment  firing  25  tons,  or  1,971  rounds. 

The  first  siege  operations  culminated  in  the  battle  of  Peters- 
burg mine,  July  30th,  1864.  On  the  31st  the  great  mine  explo- 
sion occurred,  when  six  tons  of  powder  were  exploded  directly 
under  the  confederate  forts  near  Petersburg.  In  this  siege  eighty- 
one  guns  and  mortars  were  served  by  the  ist  Connecticut  Artillery 
and  the  4th  New  York  Artillery,  and  about  seventy-five  tons  of 
ammunition,  or  3,833  rounds,  were  fired  during  the  battle ;  and 
225  tons,  or  12,229  rounds  in  the  preliminary  work.  This  battle 
was  probably  the  first  in  which  spherical  case  shot  was  used  from 
mortars.  The  novel  expedient  of  putting  thirty  12  lb.  cannister 
shot  under  the  bursting  charge  of  a  lo-inch  shell,  proved  very 
effective.

Immediately  after  the  battle  a  projected  movement  of  the 
army  of  the  Potomac  necessitated  the  moving  of  52  heavy  guns 
and  mortars,  with  all  their  ammunitions,  etc.,  with  urgent  haste 
from  the  front  of  the  5th,  9th  and  i8th  corps,  to  headquarters,  a 
distance  of  eight  miles.  This  was  accomplished  in  twenty-seven 
hours,  twenty-two  light  artillery  and  mule  teams,  and  one  hundred 
and  seventy  wagons  being  employed.  The  aggregate  weight 
moved  was  225  tons,  and  the  work  was  done  by  the  companies 
that  had  served  the  guns  in  the  action.  The  enemy  did  not  dis- 
cover the  movement,  which  began  at  midnight  of  July  30th.  The 
siege  now  took  the  form  of  bombardment,  the  average  weight  of 
metal  thrown  daily  was,  August  15th,  2  tons;  September  7th,  8 
tons ;  October  4th,  5  tons  ;  November  2d,  7  tons ;  December 
2d,  I  ton;  January  ist,  6  tons;  and  February  ist  i  ton;  aggre- 
gating 793  tons,  or  37,264  rounds. 

Around  Petersburg,  sudden  artillery  battles  occurred  at  all 
hours  of  the  day  and  night,  often  involving  the  entire  line  to 
check  an  annoying  enfilade  fire  from  the  left  bank  of  the  Appo- 
mattox. A  13-inch  sea  coast  mortar  was  mounted  on  a  reinforced 
platform  car  and  served  on  a  cun^e  of  the  railroad  track.  This 
novelty  was  widely  known  as  the  Petersburg  express.  During 
these  operations  the  siege  train  was  organized  as  a  separate  bri- 
gade under  Colonel  Abbott ;  such  additional  troops  as  were 
needed  being  temporarily  attached.  The  aggregate  number  at 
times  exceeded  3,500  men;  the  train  contained  127  guns,  73 
mortars,  and  the  line  of  batteries  was  17  miles  long.  Over  1,200 
tons  of  ammunition,  or  63,940  rounds,  hauled  an  average  distance 
of  seven  miles  by  wagon,  were  fired  during  the  siege. 

We  remained  in  front  of  Petersburg  for  eleven  months,  and 
were  under  fire  continually.  On  March  25  th  1865,  General  Gor- 
don came  over  with  three  thousand  men,  and  it  is  reported  that 
he  went  back  with  less  than  one  thousand,  but  he  succeeded  in 
capturing  about  700  Union  prisoners,  thirty-six  of  whom  belonged 
to  the  ist  Connecticut  Artillery,  the  writer  being  among  that 
number.  Petersburg  was  a  disagreeably  lively  little  place  for  us 
on  that  morning,  for  we  were  purposely  placed  in  a  position  that 


22 


HISTORICAL  SKEICH 


exposed  us  to  the  fire  of  our  own  regiment,  and  consequently 
that  position  was  anything  but  desirable. 

April  2d  an  attack  was  made  on  our  works,  and  one  hun- 
dred men  from  our  regiment  accompanied  the  expedition,  equipped 
with  guns,  lanyards,  friction  primers,  etc.,  for  use  in  case  the 
charge  was  successful.  The  enemy  were  driven  from  the  works 
and  the  captured  guns  turned  upon  them  with  considerable  dam- 
age. On  the  3d  their  lines  were  completely  evacuated,  Lee's 
army  retreating  to  Appomattox  Court  House,  where  he  surrend- 
ered to  General  Grant  on  April  9th;  and  the  ist  Artillery  went 
to  dismounting  the  deserted  confederate  guns,  a  task  which  was 
not  completed  until  after  the  ist  of  July. 

On  the  13th  of  July  we  were  transferred  to  the  defences  at 
Washington,  and  there  continued  to  practice  with  the  artillery 
until  all  danger  was  past. 

On  May  9th,  President  Johnson  issued  a  Peace  Proclamation, 
declaring  the  war  at  an  end,  but  we  continued  to  drill  until  the 
25th  of  September,  when  we  were  mustered  out  and  returned  home 
to  Hartford  where  we  went  into  camp.  On  the  ist  day  of  Octo- 
ber, 1865,  we  were  discharged  from  the  employ  of  Uncle  Sam, 
after  four  years  and  four  months  service,  during  one  year  of  which 
time,  from  May,  1864,  until  April,  1865,  we  were  under  a  contin- 
uous fire  all  of  the  time. 

In  closing  I  would  remind  my  readers  that  we  were  volun- 
teers in  this  service,  and  were  willing  and  anxious  to  do  all  in  our 
power  to  protect  the  old  flag,  come  what  would ;  and  in  the 
duties  faithfully  performed,  as  well  as  by  the  results  accomplished, 
T  think  we  proved  our  abilty  to  do  so.
